Hi!
I found this tiny Tephritidae in the surroundings of Gothenburg, at the west coast of Sweden, 22 september. The fly is just 5 mm. Habitat: dry land, earlier a rubbish dump, nowadays a dirt road with Tanacetum vulgare, thisthles and tiny grass, but there is also some humid areas and a forest edge nearby. I guess this fly might be a Tephritis leontodonti, but I've understood Tephritis can be very variable. So any help is greatly appreciated.
